Costa Rica

 

Known world-wide for its eco-tourism efforts, stunning natural beauty from the rain forest to the beaches, and an extensive amount of wildlife species, Costa Rica is a one of a kind destination. Many visitors favor Costa Rica for its seemingly laid-back culture and to enjoy the lifestyle known as "pura vida" that most locals adopt, which means pure life. This motto not only represents a way of life, but is also a popular greeting, farewell phrase, and is used in many situations in daily life in Costa Rica. The Pura Vida philosophy not only refers to the locals, visitors, and growing ex-pat community but also extends to the abundance of pure nature to be seen and enjoyed throughout Costa Rica.

 

Guanacaste-Liberia

​

A province in northwestern Costa Rica, is a tropical paradise bursting with outdoor activities. It has more than 400 miles of coastline on the Pacific Ocean, creating many opportunities for water sports like surfing, snorkeling, fishing or simply relaxing on a beach. Guanacaste has many black volcanic sand beaches, which contrast beautifully with the bright blue water.

​

Guanacaste is also home to some large national parks. Rincon de la Vieja National Park, a 34,800-acre park in the middle of the province, has unique features such as boiling mud pots, active volcanoes, nine craters, cloud forests and many hiking trails. Santa Rosa National Park, in the northwestern corner of Guanacaste, encompasses ten unique habitats, ranging from dry tropical forest to moist mangrove swamp and is a popular park for camping.

​

The best time to visit Costa Rica is from mid-December to April during the dry season. This peak tourist season has plenty of sunshine, making it an ideal time for exploring rainforests and lounging on beaches. While planning your trip, keep in mind that the weather varies by region. In the thick forests of the Caribbean Sea coast and Northern Plains, there is high humidity and temperatures ranging between the 70s and high 80s year-round. In the North Pacific, prepare for lower humidity levels, but temperatures that often reach the 90s during Costa Rica's dry months.
